New Modes

Our launch day collection of modes is only the beginning; expect even more modes post-launch beginning with Operation 2.

New Maps

New arenas for Versus and Horde plus new tiles for Escape Map Builder.

Major Features

Operations will give us the opportunity to include major new features, such as support for Versus and Horde in Map Builder.

Always Something To Do

Prepare to master new Hives, battle for your weekly Ranked Division rewards, earn new Supply Drop content and dive into Special Events every single week.

In addition, we’ll also be updating the game regularly to
continually improve and refine the game based on your feedback!

Tour of Duty

Every Operation brings a new Tour of Duty – a season long
progression system that is full of free earnable cosmetic content.

Complete daily objectives and seasonal medals to earn Stars that help you rank up in Tour of Duty. Every level you gain, or medal group you complete, will come with a new piece of exclusive customization – like character skins, weapon skins, executions, blood sprays, banners, expressions, marks and more.

The more you play, the faster you rank up in the Tour of
Duty and unlock new content. Select rewards are only available during each
Operation – so complete the objectives and get this exclusive content before
the Operation ends!

Launch Operation – September to December

Our launch Tour of Duty contains over 40 customization items to collect! Here’s just some of our favorite content from this first Tour of Duty:

While there’s so much fresh content to dive into with the release of Gears 5, our first Operation has even more to look forward to!

Come back every day for three new Tour of Duty objectives to
earn stars that progress your Tour Rank and earn you customization rewards.

Every week, there is a feature Escape Hive to conquer, rewards for your division rank (including placement skins at key weeks) and new customization content added to Supply and the Store.

Every month, we’ll release updates that continue to improve
the game with features and fixes. In October, we’ll be introducing our first
ever Character roster update including brand new COG Heroes for Versus, Horde
and Escape!

October will also see the return of Special Events, from old
fan favorites to new breakout hits. And yes, you can bet we’ve got something up
our sleeve for Halloween!

The Future of Gears 5

September marks the start of a long journey together over
the years ahead on Gears 5.

With Operations, we are taking our post-launch support to the next level. With all of this free content, plus a regular cadence of exclusive killer cosmetic items in the Gears 5 Store, we think this will be the most dynamic and exciting post-launch Gears has ever had.

As always, it’s a journey we take together. We’ll be
listening to your feedback and ideas to help guide the development of our
Updates and Operations every step of the away. Launch is just the beginning!
